    Google maps takes map data from the server as you use it so Yes.

    Offline mapping may be from memory /SD card such as NavFree, or Nokia Maps that will not use data.

    Downloading Navfree for Android now :cool:

    Happy to help... :)

    Waze is good too as it crowdsources traffic information but that downloads maps as needed rather than a downloading all to the phone like NavFree..
